cutting compound

[brightspark]

ive scores a tin of rocol cutting compound .its great stuff but verry thick and sticky and has to be applied with a bit of stick to the drill tap or metal to be cut and is a bit wastefull .thinning it with white spirit and putting it in a small squeesy bottle. it can be applied easily where u want it without waste and getting everything sticky will probably work on other makes as well

I've thinned it in the past with thin oil like hydraulic 32, works a treat

I always use Rocol, either "thick and sticky" or ready thinned in their plastic squeeze bottle, Great tapping and cutting material, Don't know if its just me but I love the smell.I might get the Mrs to put a dab behind each ear!!

Good tip!
Might try gordons suggestion too

I've only used the plastic squeezy bottle, didn't know they did "thick & sticky"

Rocol RDT in 50g tubes is thick & sticky, bought 4 tubes years ago am on last tube, comes in plastic thingys now

I 'borrow' rocol from work and thin it with 32 as spark plug does. still works great and lasts a lot longer. if I cant get the thick n sticky stuff I get the aerosol instead, I find its a bit like chain wax in the way it comes out (no dirty jokes please) but still works ok. we also have some stuff that comes in in a white paint tin with no name on it, very similar to trefolex but stinks of diesel

Still got a tin of Tallow somewhere, used for threading tube (conduit) just have to make sure I put the lid on after using it as I caught the dog trying to eat it!
